Not everyone enjoyed last night's episode of Doctor Who!..

CLICK HERE:
http://thenerdrageblog.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/review-doctor-who-the-hungry-earth/

I found parts of this review funny... "[the Doctor] is dressed like he fell through a charity shop backwards, and the other… well, dressed like a stripper."


Good point - a reason (Rio) was given for Amy's belt...erm, I mean skirt... yet Amy was wearing a leather jacket?! (Doesn't really matter though, right?!)

Most reviews that I have read are critical of Meera Syal, but I thought she was fab in The Hungry Earth. Also thought the other guest actors were good too.

Whilst fair criticisms are made of the episode, I think the key is not to take the programme too seriously if at all possible. It is family entertainment, and if I may say so it does a great job at doing that. A lot of love obviously goes into making each and every episode of Doctor Who, as this weeks Confidential shows, and it is important to remember that.
I'm not saying don't call an episode crap if you think that it is, but try and have the above in the back of your mind perhaps?

Anyway!.. toodle-pip! :-)

Perfect sense

The Doctor: “Excuse me, I’m making perfect sense, you’re just not keeping up…”

Karen Gillan: just what the doctor ordered


Red alert! It's Karen Gillan: the giant flame-haired time-travelling Scotswoman with whom the British nation has fallen madly, hopelessly and devotedly in love. Here she comes, fresh from these photographs, pounding down the thickly carpeted stairs of Fulham Palace in a dirty great pair of heels and a shimmering fairy-tale frock, all six foot of her and, I can't help noticing, most of it leg.

Time Lord visits the 1930s


DOCTOR Who star Matt Smith looks just like, er, Doctor Who in his new BBC drama.

We revealed how the Timelord is playing gay writer Christopher Isherwood in Christopher and His Kind for BBC2.

The 1930s film sees him raid the dressing-up box again for an outfit that looks very much like the kind of natty ensemble his time-travelling alter ego might wear.

Lindsay Duncan - who starred in Doctor Who adventure The Waters Of Mars last year - plays his mum.

The drama is set in Berlin.

Syal "chuffed" with 'Doctor Who' role

Meera Syal has admitted that she was thrilled to land a role in Doctor Who.
Syal, who will appear in Saturday's episode as geologist Dr Nasreen Choudhry, confessed that she was desperate to appear on the show.
Speaking to What's On TV, she explained: "I told my agent I'd do anything to be in it. It's one of the things I had to do."
She added: "I was chuffed I got to go in the Tardis. Not everyone does."
The actress also revealed that the Silurians, who reappear in this week's episode, look "amazing".
"They're creepy but they're not totally evil," she continued. "They have wisdom and knowledge. They're not enemies like the Daleks or Cybermen, but I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them!"
Doctor Who continues on Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One.

Doctor Who hopes for monster Scots audience

DOCTOR Who, the stage show, will come to Scotland in October as part of a nine-city UK tour, the BBC announced yesterday.

The arena show, which will play at the SECC in Glasgow, marks the latest touring adaptation of a BBC television hit, on the heels of live versions of Strictly Come Dancing and Top Gear.

While the show will boast special effects, and video scenes shot with the new Doctor, Matt Smith, it will not have live performances by him or his co- stars, who include Scot Karen Gillan.

It was developed with Doctor Who's near legendary producer Steven Moffat, who, with actor David Tennant was credited with reviving the long-lived brand.

It will boast a live orchestra playing music by composer Murray Gold and stage battles with the likes of the Daleks and the Cybermen.

Murray Gold said: "The live element always adds something extra, but these will also be brand new arrangements for a new band of very talented musicians. It's very exciting."

Steven Moffat said: "This is everything I ever wanted since I was 11. A live show, with all the coolest Doctor Who monsters, a proper story, and brand new screen material."
